ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book describes the emergence of new spaces built in the interstices of neo-liberal capitalism. It explores the context-specific and innovative ways in which new spaces are built around sexual identity as in the organization of Lesbian, Gay, Bi- and Transgender Intersex individuals (LGBTI) in Braga's chapter and by organizations such as LEARN which operate in the heart of India's largest slum but also in the household, a space previously closed to labour organization. In programmes such as the CWP, Langa and Von Holdt argue that migrants are integrated into local communities through the prioritization of 'socially useful work', and by developing cooperatives with the aim of feeding people nutritious food in an ecologically sensitive manner. These spaces are celebrated, even if they are rare and tentative and often overwhelmed by the fragmentation of society into citizens and migrants, organized and unorganized, and many other identities.
